How do I retrieve data with Plasmo storage api

I have the following code in a JSX component

  const [selectedDeck, setSelectedDeck] = useStorage("selectedDeck", null)
...
setSelectedDeck(deck)

  const [selectedDeck, setSelectedDeck] = useStorage("selectedDeck", null)
...
setSelectedDeck(deck)

In my contents/highlighter.ts file i have the following code: const storage = new Storage()

class MediumHighlighter extends HTMLElement {
  ...
  async highlightSelection() {
    ...
    const selectedDeck: any = await storage.get("selectedDeck") 
    console.log("selectedDeck: " + selectedDeck)
    ...
  }
}

class MediumHighlighter extends HTMLElement {
  ...
  async highlightSelection() {
    ...
    const selectedDeck: any = await storage.get("selectedDeck") 
    console.log("selectedDeck: " + selectedDeck)
    ...
  }
}

I have already verified that in the JSX component that setSelectedDeck is setting selectedDeck properly but I get null when I log from my contents/highlighter.ts

I was told by pallas that the react useStorage hooks use local storage but nothing shows up here

issue solved. I just changed selectedDeck to selected_deck in both files 😐
